Wrote a short little blurb about my Konor Ad Mech that I plan on sending in to a youtube channel and I would like people opinion on it before I send it.

Named after the adopted father of Roboute Guilliman, the Forge World of Konor has, in the over 10000 years it has existed, earned its title of: The Hammer and Anvil of Ultramar. As the primary Forge World of the Ultramar system they are responsible for the production of the majority of arms and armor used not only by the Ultramarines but for many of their successor chapters and the various regiments of the Astra Militarum of the Ultramar system as well. As such the Forge World is known for the production of only the highest quality of equipment, not only for the Space Marines but for their own forces as well.
This is particularly true for the armor and bionics used to build their forces as they are made from a special alloy combining both the standard metals used by other Forge Worlds and the high quality Ceramite used in the power armor of the Ultramarines. While not as strong as power armor this metal makes the standard warriors of the Forge World mush more resilient to armor penetrating rounds then other Forge Worlds. The creation of this alloy is a closely guarded secret known only to a few selected Magos and their unwillingness the share has caused much friction between Konor and other Forge Worlds, particularly with the original Forge World of Mars.
Because of their distance from the Holy Sol system, their general aversion to serving Mars and their extreme loyalty to the Ultramarines chapter has led many within the upper echelons of Mars to believe that they are on the edge of full scale heresy. This was brought to a head in 745.M41 when Hive Fleet Behemoth attacked the Ultramar system causing a full withdraw of all Skitarii and Cult Mechanicus forces across the galaxy, often leaving their allies to fend for themselves and face overwhelming odds. This almost caused the entire Forge World to be declared traitors and only the fact that they are the primary source of arms for a major space marine’s chapter saved them from this fate. Since then the rift between them and Mars has only grown larger.
Konor’s distance, both physically and mentally, from Mars has made Konor adopt a different method of waging war from the standard. Being so connected to the Ultramarines has leaded them to implement many parts of the Codex Astartes into the programing for their forces. Rather than the slow and methodical marches of the standard forces the armies of Konor favor swift strikes at vulnerable targets and as such the use of teleport homers, much like those used by the veteran forces of the Ultramarines, is very common as is a focus on remaining tactically flexible. Their similar tactics has ensued in many occasions were the armies of Konor and the force of the Ultramarines and their successors have fought together on the battlefield resulting in many commanders being declared honorary members of the chapter and being awarded an Iron Halo.
